DOMINIQUE PIRON

The Piron family has grape growing and winemaking history that goes back fourteen generations to 1590 AD in Morgon, one of ten Beaujolais crus well known for its distinct patchwork of terroirs. In 2013, Piron went into partnership with Beaujolais native and winemaker Julien Révillon with the goal of modernizing the estate and improving biodiversity and sustainability in the vineyards. Piron’s portfolio of wonderfully fruit-forward, low tannic wines are made from grapes that are carefully selected from single-vineyard parcels, resulting in wines that are timeless and traditional that can be enjoyed right away or kept for several years.

Red-fruited with notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry but also has a hint of cassis. There is a slight dash of spice, dried herbs and floral character to it as well. Fresh and light with fine-grained tannins. Pop this in the fridge for 20 minutes and enjoy it with a slight chill! 

 

Fruit for this wine is sourced from 50-year-old vines, growing on hills around the cru sites in the northern part of region. The soil is partially granitic, which helps to retain heat in the day but cools off by the evening, contributing to the wine's fresh fruit quality. This Gamay is hand harvested, partially destemmed, undergoes semi-carbonic maceration and is fermented with native yeasts. The wine is then aged in stainless steel.

This wine comes from one of the richer crus of Beaujolais. It has a deep, earthy nose with berry fruits. On the palate, notes of cherry and mushroom with well-balanced tannins and a good length. 

 

94 Points, James Suckling (2020 vintage)

This deep, complex Morgon needs some further maturation or aeration to reveal its spicy, dried-herb and mineral depths. Excellent balance of these elements with fine tannins and a medium-full body. Long, complex finish, in which the tannins and mineral acidity are beautifully intertwined. Drinkable now, but better from 2022.

This 100% Gamay has a beautiful hue to it. The vines are grown in a mix of granite, clay and limestone. This wine is dry, light and balanced, with plenty of red berries on the nose and palate.
